Place Value

click to return to table of contents

Numbers, like 247, have three digits. Each digit has a different place value.

The right digit is the ones place. It tells you that there are 7 ones.

The middle digit is the tens place. It tells you that there are 4 sets of ten.

The left digit is the hundreds place. It tells you that there are 2 sets of one hundred.

Hundreds Tens Ones

Therefore, there are 2 sets of 100, plus 4 sets of 10, plus 7 ones in the number 247. (200+40+7=247)

Comparing Numbers

click to return to table of contents

There are two symbols we use to compare numbers.

> (greater than)

< (less than)

One number goes on the left of the symbol and another number goes on the right of the symbol.

The number on the left of the ">" shows the larger number.

For example: 2 > 1

The number on the left of the "<" shows the smaller number.

For example: 1 < 2

Remember, one number goes on the left of the symbol and another number goes on the right of the symbol.

The number on the left of the ">" shows the larger number.

For example: 2 > 1

This means that "2 is greater than 1"

The number on the left of the "<" shows the smaller number.

For example: 1 < 2

This means that "2 is less than 1"

Compare from left to right.

3 Hundreds is greater than 2 hundreds. 334 > 245

Compare digits in the same place-value position from left to right.

Ordering Numbers

When you order numbers:

- write them from least to greatest

- or from greatest to least.

Use place value.

Step 2 Compare the Tens.

Step 1 Compare the Hundreds.

Rounding Numbers

click to return to table of contents

Rounding makes numbers that are easier to work with in your head.

Rounded numbers are only approximate.

An exact answer generally can not be obtained using rounded numbers.

Use rounding to get an answer that is close but that does not have to be exact.

How to Round Numbers to the Nearest Ten

Make the numbers that end in 1 through 4 into the next lower number that ends in 0. For example 74 rounded to the nearest ten would be 70.

Numbers that end in a digit of 5 or more should be rounded up to the next even ten. The number 88 rounded to the nearest ten would be 90.

Round each to the nearest ten. Use the magnifying glass to check your answers.

How to Round Numbers to the Nearest Hundred

To round numbers to the nearest hundred, make the numbers that end in 1 through 49 into the next lower number that ends in 00. For example 424 rounded to the nearest hundred would be 400.

Numbers that have the last two digits of 50 or more should be rounded up to the next even hundred. The number 988 rounded to the nearest hundred would be 1000.

Round each to the nearest hundred. Use the magnifying glass to check your answers.

Addition Properties

There are 3 properties of Addition

Communtative Property- You can add numbers in any order and get the same sum (answer).

Identity Property- You can add a zero to any number and the sum will equal the original number.

Associative Property- You can group the addends (numbers being added) in different ways and the sum will be the same.

Commutative Property

is the same as

5 + 3 = 8

3 + 5 = 8

So,

5 + 3= 3 + 5

Identity Property

+ 0 =

So,

4 + 0 = 4

Associative Property

is the same as

3 + (4 + 2 ) = 9

(3 + 4) + 2 = 9

So,

(3 + 4) + 2 = 3 + (4 + 2)

Label each number sentence with its correct property.

Commutative, Identity, or Associative

4 + 1 = 1 + 4 __________

6 = 8 + 0 __________

0 + 9 = 9 __________

2 + 5 = 5 + 2 __________

100 + ( 5 + 6 ) = ( 100 + 5 ) + 6 __________

50 + 0 = 50 __________

( 1 + 2 ) + 3 = 1 + ( 2 + 3 ) __________

110 + 5 = 5 + 110 __________

Missing Addends

Click to Return to Addition Table

of Contents

In an addition equation such as 5 + 6 = 11:

5 and 6 are the addends and 11 is the sum.

Sometimes we are given a problem with a missing addend.

4 + ? = 612 = 9 +

__+ 5 = 10 7 = a + 3

We have to figure out the number that is missing.

Try to use addition facts

7 + = 11

Ask yourself, "What do I add to 7 to get the answer 11?"

Try to use a subtraction fact

? + 8 = 12

Ask yourself, "What is the answer to 12 subtract 8?"

Match the number sentence with its missing addend.

6 + ? = 97

x + 4 = 102

9 = ? + 43

7 = 5 + ?6

5 + ? = 125

Make sure to line up the digits based on their place values.

Add the ones' digit place first. If the sum is less than 9, no regrouping is necessary.

Next, add the tens' place. If the sum is greater than 9, you will need to regroup and place a 1 on the hundreds place.

Click to Return to Subtraction Table of Contents

When you estimate differences, you round the numbers or use compatible numbers to find an estimate of what the difference may be before you subtract.

Use Rounding

Round each number to the nearest ten.

Then add to find the estimated difference.

2-Digit Subtraction

2-digit Subtraction without regrouping

When you subtract two 2-digit numbers, it is important to line up the digits based on their place values.

For example, 45 - 14 = should be written as:

45

- 14

First, subtract the ones' column. 5 is greater than 4, so regrouping is not needed.

Then, subtract the tens' column.

2 digit Subtraction with Regrouping

When you subtract two 2-digit numbers, it is important to line up the digits based on their place values.

For example, 54 - 26 = should be written as:

54

- 26

First, subtract the ones' column. 4 is less than 6, so regrouping is needed.

Then, subtract the tens' column.

Use base ten blocks to model subtraction.

Circle the problems that need regrouped. Put a box around the

problems that do not need regrouping.

3-Digit Subtraction

Click to Return to Subtraction Table of Contents

When finding the difference of two 3-digit numbers, you must make sure the digits are lined up based on their place value.

For example, 574-159 should be written as:

574

-159

Find the difference in the ones' column. 4 is not larger than 9, therefor we need to regroup.

Find the difference in the tens' column. 6 is larger than 5, therefor we do not need to regroup.

Find the difference in the hundreds' column.

Subtraction Across Zeroes

Click to Return to Subtraction Table of Contents

An example of "Subtracting Across Zeroes" is the problem, 500-159.

When this problem is written with its digits lined up based on their place values, it looks like:

500

-159

First, look at the numbers in the ones' column. 0 is not larger than 9, so regrouping is needed.

However, we can not regroup the tens' column because it, too, has a zero on top.

So we then must regroup the hundreds' column.

4

500

-159

Regroup the hundreds' column by crossing out the 5 and making it a 4. Then, make the tens' column 0 a 10.

410

500

-159

Regroup the tens' column by crossing out the 10 and making it a 9. Then make the ones' column 0 a 10.

Checking Subtraction

with Addition

Click to Return to Subtraction Table of Contents

Sometimes, mistakes are made when we subtract. Estimating is one way to check the reasonableness of our work. But, we can also use addition to check our subtraction.

You already know that you can use fact families. For example, the subtraction problem 9-5=4 can be checked with the addition problem 4+5=9. The same can be done with larger numbers.

When checking a subtraction problem with addition, add the number that is subtracted and the answer. You should end up with the original number you started with.
